VideoCutTool is a tool to trim, crop, rotate on-the-fly videos in Wikimedia Commons. It is hosted in Wikimedia Toolforge and can be found at https://tools.wmflabs.org/video-cut-tool/

Background

Currently, we are now changing the API_URL to the https://tools.wmflabs.org/video-cut-tool-back-end in production and to http://localhost:4000 when trying in locally manually.

This is not a good idea to change the API_URL each time and deploy the tool, So let's do some hack here and make our work easy!

Task:

• Learn about VideoCutTool from Commons: VideoCutTool
• Find a way to fix this issue and make a PR to the same code repo in Github.
